On Episode 123 of the Always the Critic Podcast, we start a brand-new mini series called Sunshine State of Mind to put a spotlight on movies set in South Florida and celebrate our hometown. The first movie on the docket is the infamous Scarface starring Al Pacino.

Rico and Jess welcome Tony Montana to the United States, talking the movie’s legacy, critical reception, the true stories that inspired the story, as well as sharing their thoughts on the movie’s Cuban representation (or lack thereof), homophobia, their favorite lines and scenes, plus Pacino’s crazy accent.

*A special thank you to Rosa Albarracin for the custom series art.
